One of My Special Memories for the 4th of July...


Every 4th of July my dad, Timothy Stockman would sing a song that he and his two brothers made up when they were kids and to this day, when the 4th of July comes around I can hear his voice and remember the smile on his face as that special memory comes back to my mind.  As my Grandpa Stockman's parents came from Germany during one of the wars, this song has a lot of meaning behind it... and oh how we all love our sauerkraut!

Barte, Trent, and Timothy Stockman

"My country tis of thee, Sweet land of Germany
Of thee I sing: We love our Sauerkraut, It makes our ears stick out!
From every mountain top, Let the Sauerkraut sprout!"

-made up by Timothy, Trent, & Barte Stockman when they were younger
